APPENDIX 

LAWS   UNDER  WHICH  THE   FOREGOING  REGULATIONS   ARE  MADE 

AN  ACT  To  enable  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  to  more  effectually  suppress  and  prevent 
the  spread  of  contagious  and  infectious  diseases  of  livestock,  and  for  other  purposes. 
(32  Stat.  791.) 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United  States 
of  America  in  Congress  assembled,  That  in  order  to  enable  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture  to  effectually  suppress  and  extirpate  contagious  pleuropneumonia, 
foot-and-mouth  disease,  and  other  dangerous  contagious,  infectious,  and  com- 
municable diseases  in  cattle  and  other  livestock,  and  to  prevent  the  spread  of 
such  diseases,  the  powers  conferred  on  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  by  sections 
four  and  five  of  an  act  entitled  "An  act  for  the  establishment  of  a  Bureau  of 
Animal  Industry,  to  prevent  the  exportation  of  diseased  cattle,  and  to  provide 
means  for  the  suppression  and  extirpation  of  pleuropneumonia  and  other  con- 
tagious diseases  among  domestic  animals,"  approved  May  twenty-ninth,  eighteen 
hundred  and  eight-four  (twenty-third  United  States  Statutes,  thirty-one),  are 
hereby  conferred  on  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  to  be  exercised  exclusively  by 
him.  He  is  hereby  authorized  and  directed,  from  time  to  time,  to  establish 
such  rules  and  regulations  concerning  the  exportation  and  transportation  of  live- 
stock from  any  place  within  the  United  States  where  he  may  have  reason  to 
believe  such  diseases  may  exist  into  and  through  any  State  or  Territory,  includ- 
ing the  Indian  Territory,  and  into  and  through  the  District  of  Columbia  and  to 
foreign  countries,  as  he  may  deem  necessary,  and  all  such  rules  and  regulations 
shall  have  the  force  of  law.  Whenever  any  inspector  or  assistant  inspector  of 
the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  shall  issue  a  certificate  showing  that  such  officer 
had  inspected  any  cattle  or  other  livestock  which  were  about  to  be  shipped, 
driven,  or  transported  from  such  locality  to  another,  as  above  stated,  and  had 
found  them  free  from  Texas  or  splenetic  fever  infection,  pleuropneumonia,  foot- 
and-mouth  disease,  or  any  other  infectious,  contagious,  or  communicable  disease, 
such  animals,  so  inspected  and  certified,  may  be  shipped,  driven,  or  transported 
from  such  place  into  and  through  any  State  or  Territory,  including  the  Indian 
Territory,  and  into  and  through  the  District  of  Columbia,  or  they  may  be  ex- 
ported from  the  United  States  without  further  inspection  or  the  exaction  of  fees 
of  any  kind,  except  such  as  may  at  any  time  be  ordered  or  exacted  by  the  Secre- 
tary of  Agriculture  ;  and  all  such  animals  shall  at  all  times  be  under  the  control 
and  supervision  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  of  the  Agricultural  Depart- 
ment for  the  purposes  of  such  inspection. 

Sec.  2.  That  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  shall  have  authority  to  make  such 
regulations  and  take  such  measures  as  he  may  deem  proper  to  prevent  the 
introduction  or  dissemination  of  the  contagion  of  any  contagious,  infectious,  or 
communicable  disease  of  animals  from  a  foreign  country  into  the  United  States 
or  from  one  State  or  Territory  of  the  United  States  or  the  District  of  Columbia 
to  another,  and  to  seize,  quarantine,  and  dispose  of  any  hay,  straw,  forage,  or 
similar  material,  or  any  meats,  hides,  or  other  animal  products  coming  from  an 
infected  foreign  country  to  the  United  States,  or  from  one  State  or  Territory  or 
the  District  of  Columbia  in  transit  to  another  State  or  Territory  or  the  District 
of  Columbia  whenever  in  his  judgment  such  action  is  advisable  in  order  to 
guard  against  the  introduction  or  spread  of  such  contagion. 

Sex;.  3.  That  any  person,  company,  or  corporation  knowingly  violating  the 
provisions  of  this  act  or  the  orders  or  regulations  made  in  pursuance  thereof 
shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor,  and  on  conviction  shall  be  punished  by  a 
fine  of  not  less  than  one  hundred  dollars  nor  more  than  one  thousand  dollars, 
or  by  imprisonment  not  more  than  one  year,  or  by  both  such  fine  and  imprison-
